Louis Mes, MD (retired)

I've been on this site for a while reading everyone's stories. I love coming on here because it has been a great source for information. I am scheduled to have my surgery on Friday April 22nd with Dr. Louis Mes in Lafayette, Louisiana. So far everything has been great. My consultation I had with him was more than what I could've hoped for. Immediately upon meeting him, he came in with a big smile and put me at ease. He was very thorough with all of the information on the procedure and took his time explaining any questions I had. His staff has also been great. Both times I have went in for my consultation and preop appointment they made me feel so comfortable and you can tell they really care. I'm very excited to have my surgery next week, but also very nervous. I get anxious really easily, so I made sure to ask them to give me happy juice when I get there for surgery lol My stats: 27 years old 2 year old twins 5'4 116 lbs Getting 325cc HP smooth round silicone implants under the muscle I have been working out 5 days a week, but this week I have stopped upper body exercises until after I'm healed from surgery. Any advice for recovery would be greatly appreciated. I will try and post some pictures soon! Updated on 24 Apr 2016: I had my surgery Friday. I was so nervous but Dr. Mes came in and put me at ease and the the anesthesiologist came in and gave me the happy juice for my nerves lol that definitely helped a lot. He was also very nice. Everyone there took really good care of me and made me feel so comfortable. I woke up in a lot of pain so they had to prescribe me some muscle relaxers. Luckily the surgery center has a pharmacy. The whole day after surgery was pretty much a blur from being on the pain medicine. I got nauseated some but never threw up. The phenergan helped with that. I just made sure to take it with my pain pills. So far I haven't located too bad. I've been drinking my ItWorks Berry Greens since they work as a detox and it's great for the immune system. Also after I get my bath this evening I'm going to put on one of the ItWorks wraps which also works as a detox and anti-inflammatory. They always make me feel so much better. Tomorrow I go for my post op visit. I haven't been allowed to take my surgical bra off since surgery. They have the gauze stuffed in it. They should take it off tomorrow and I'll get to wear a regular sports bra woo hop this contraption is making me itch and I'm ready to see the girls lol Are there any sports bras anyone recommends getting to wear until I can wear a regular bra? Updated on 27 Apr 2016: It's the 5th day after surgery. Definitely feeling a lot better. I'm off of my pain medicine. I just have to take ibuprofen every now and then because my muscles will tense up some mornings and evenings. I had went to the doctor on Monday. They said everything looked good. No bruising and I could drive and not to lift anything over 10 lbs. I go back tomorrow to see the doctor. They said he will clip my stitches and they will teach me how to do the massages. So far I am very happy with how they are looking. Can't wait for them to start dropping. The photo attached is from the 3rd day after surgery when I was finally able to take my surgical bra off.

Hello ladies, I have been on here for a quite a while but I was flatside32. I deleted my old profile because I switched doctors. But anyway I'm finally moving forward with this journey and I've decided to go with a local doc. I am 36 with 2 great kids a 16 yr old girl and a 12 year old little man. I had the gastric sleeve may 2010, and I've maintained the same weight for about 3 yrs. I was 330lbs at my heaviest weight and I got down to 204 after the sleeve. Now it's November 19, 2014 and I am 216lbs (been this weight for 3 yrs.)I would love to lose about 15lbs before surgery for the best results. I am scheduled to have surgery on Jan 5,2014. My Dr. is Loius Mes. He says that I have bout 15 lbs of skin that will be removed.(yuck)!!!!!! I originally wanted to have mommy makeover but doc says that I would get the best results from a LBL. Then later on I could do breast lift.safety first!!!!! I am nervous and excited at the same damn time.........I will post pics again Updated on 4 Dec 2014: WOW!!! DR's OFFICE CALLED AND SAID THEY HAD AN OPENING FOR THE 22nd OF DEC INSTEAD OF JAN 5....WELL OF COARSE I SAID HELL YEAH, THE SOONER THE BETTER.... Updated on 6 Dec 2014: Updated on 28 Dec 2014: Wow! This has been a journey. But it's worth every tear...... Updated on 29 Dec 2014: Hello ladies, I am feeling much better today so i decided to take a few selfie after my shower. I was feeling myself. .. Updated on 21 Jan 2015: I am 4 weeks post op today. I'm feeling pretty good besides the fact that i still have to move slow because of the sides of my incision is taking its good old time to heal. Only because of my movements i put my incision under stress but hey other than that I'm cool. Updated on 21 Jan 2015:

I can't believe how great I have done thru this process. I have been reading everyone stories thinking this was going to be terrible. But it hasn't been bad. First fews days were the worst, but nothing I couldn't handle. My drains only in for two days- that was great. I want to say thanks to everyone who posted helpful tips. I would do it again in a heartbeat.Updated on 15 May 2012:Standing straighter every day. Can't wait til I can get back to working out. 6 week post op appointment is on the 30th - can't wait. I still am a little swollen - but feeling real well. I am very happy with the results. My scar has healed up great. Good luck to all with upcoming surgeries.Updated on 31 May 2012:Well had my 6 week post op appointment yesterday. PS was so please - My scar looks fabulous - his words - but I agree. I can get back to my regular workouts, etc. Just have to take it slow. I couldn't be more happy. I will post new pictures soon. Good luck to everyone.

I had bodytite and lipo. He is a very nice person but he did not want to do the areas that I wanted. I let him convince me to do bodytite and lipo. I know that he is new to the bodytite but I was very disappointed in the scaring. I have had lipo before and I think that the results from that are better. I was not happy with the end results after 6 months. Once again, I have had lipo in the past and the results from that were more dramatic that what I had done with him.

Hi Ladies, I just love this site and being able to follow you guys through all of your journeys. I have learned so much from all of your posts on many procedures. It's really nice to have such a supportive group of friends to go through this together. Well a little about myself, I'm 40 years old and I've been wanting breast implants even before I had children. I have always been petite w small breasts, well now after having 2 children and gaining weight I will finally be getting my breast augmentation as well As Liposuction of the trunk area with possible mini abdominoplasty. My procedure in in the morning ???? and I'm so excited but nervous. Our plan is to go with 325-350 silicone smooth round moderate plus implants. I'm 5'1 and weigh 135 (my goal is 115-120). Well I think I will get some rest now! (ambien is kicking in...lol) and 4am will be here before I know it!! Will update in the morning:))Updated on 14 Apr 2016: Hi everyone, it's POD #1 and I'm home! I went into surgery around 8:15 AM, and came out sometime between 12 and 1pm, I'm not too sure. I ended up doing a Breast augmentation, liposuction of the trunk and inner thighs and abdominoplasty ( no muscle repair). My abd incision ended up from hip to hip- which kinda surprised me, I expected something similar to a a c-section scar, but it's ok no biggie. Oh and he ended up removing 4-5 Lbs of fat all together!! I spent the night at Parkplace surgical hospital, which was so great, it's nice and clean and the staff are so pleasant. I am very sore today and getting in and out of bed is the worse, but pain is totally bearable. My Dr put me on Demerol 50 mg and phenergan 25mg by mouth which seems to be working. Just a few post op pics when I got home. More to come!Updated on 15 Apr 2016: Updated on 16 Apr 2016: Sorry I'm posting a day late. Pain is getting better and better each day. Boobs still look like torpedos!! Abdominal binder still on so still haven't seen the Lipo /abdominoplasty results. Will post POD #3 pics later on today:)Updated on 16 Apr 2016: Pain is much better and getting in and out of bed is easier too. Can't wait to get out of this compression garment so I can see my abdomen! Post op appt is in 3 days!Updated on 20 Apr 2016: Today is POD #7, I had my post op visit yesterday and finally removed the compression garment w/all of the 100 pieces of foam padding! I felt like the pillsbury doughboy! They also removed my sutures from the Lipo spots, JP drain as well as the surgical bra. What a relief, I can move finally. I'm a nurse and remove people's drains everyday but was deathly afraid to have mine removed! It wasn't as bad as I thought, just felt like a warmth or burning that only lasted the few seconds that it took to pull it out. I will see Dr Mes next week to check my incisions. I'm very beat up and bruised but love the results already, although I'm swollen. My breasts are still sore and look like torpedos but so far I like the size. I will post pics but excuse the markings from when he drew all over me pre op. Takes a while for that market to come off.Updated on 20 Apr 2016: Thought I uploaded this pic of abd incision but it didn't load. Will retry. The lower and incision from mini abdominoplasty looks scary!!!Updated on 27 Apr 2016: Sorry I'm not updating like I should. These were taken a few days ago on POD #10. I'm still swollen in abdomen and boobs still need to drop :))

My heaviest weight was 165, after both kids I'm back down to about 119. And my breast have taken a eating on the way down. From a DDD during pregnancy and breastfeeding to a A/B is depressing. Lost pretty much all my tissue and boob is one big stretch mark. I'm tired of having skin tags on my chest. Time to fill them out again! Done with kids so its time! I'm too young to have breast that look like this! Updated on 23 Nov 2014: So PS said I should get 300cc moderate profile plus. I tried rice sizers and they seemed a little small. Maybe I'm just used to big boobs from pregnancy and breast feeding. So I did 325cc and they seemed ok but wanted more, so tried 350 but it seemed to big, what do I do? How was the rice sizers for anyone else? Was it bigger or smaller than your actual implant? Updated on 4 Dec 2014: So my surgery isn't for another 25 days but I am getting a bit nervous. Especially because I realized that the right side of my chest comes out more than my left, so it can make my right boob look bigger in certain bras. I need to mention that to my PS to make sure he doesn't disregard that factor. I wonder if everyones chest is like that? Updated on 18 Dec 2014: Had pre-op today! Got a bag of goodies, along with a free micro peel from my PS and his staff, how sweet! We paid my balance and discussed implant size. He originally wanted 300 mod+ smooth round silicone by Mentor but i wanted larger. I told him no smaller than 325, and I was thinking 325-375. He said with my BWD being 12 and that I'm only 5'1 and 120, he wont go larger than 350, and since I want to go that much larger then we should switch to high profile! Sooooo we ordered 325 & 350 high profile and he'll decide in surgery! I work with him so I totally trust his opinion! I told him to just do what he thinks is right! Anyone else going with the same kind of implants and having a lift? Updated on 26 Dec 2014: Yes I have counted the hours till I will be in holding waiting to be brought back to start my case. Getting a bit nervous. Does anyone have any tips that helped make their recovery easier? Please share your stories! Updated on 30 Dec 2014: I'm here waiting in the lobby, waiting to get called back to holding! I'm so excited! And starvinnngggg! Updated on 31 Dec 2014: Went in yesterday morning at 8:45 to sign in. I wasn't called in to pre-op til 10. They were very very yesterday. I work at the surgical facility so it didn't bug me because I know they bust ass as fast as they can! Dr. Mes came to mark me and then we were off to the room, I choose to have no versed because I wanted to remember everything. I woke up 4 hrs later in recovery. Dr. Mes usually takes long on his cases because he is a perfectionist! I still haven't got to see them because I don't want to take bandages and bra off. My husband said he told him that he was able to get 350 to fit but I was going to be very sore. And my pec muscle was tight too. So I have 350 high profile silicone under the muscle. My BWD was 12 and I'm 5'1 and 120. Updated on 31 Dec 2014: Can't take the bra and dressings off all the way but I just wanted to take a peek Updated on 2 Jan 2015: Updated on 5 Jan 2015: Still some bruising of course, a few stitches come out Thursday morning. Made a before and after picture! Updated on 14 Jan 2015: Incisions are healing nicely! I still have a little bruising on top of left nipple and under my right. I'm back at work and school and doing great. I only took pain meds at night for the first few days. I didn't even take the Ambien my PS prescribed. I got my sutures cut out and I took off my own tape and replaced with steri strips. I haven't worn anything on my scars for a few days now except the occasional Silicone Scar Sheet, which you can get at Walgreens. After I got suture removed I started the scar cream they gave me, called invincible and I am continuing the vitamin e oil on my incisions and breast and the arnicare gel on my bruises. I was told to massage the incisions for at least two minutes 2 times a day to help healing. My right does seem to be taking longer to settle than my left, and not as round, I hope they even out a little more over the next few months. I love them regardless! Updated on 22 Jan 2015: This is a progress picture, over the past 23 days! Extremely happy with results so far!

So after getting a new bra fitting at VS last month and realizing I lost more volume I decided to take the plunge and go for a consult. I knew from researching here that I probably wanted silicone gummies, 300-350 cc with an under the boob insicion (term?? anyone?) I'm 5ft 7in, 120 lb mom of 4 teenagers that escapes to the gym everyday for a few hours. I set my appt with Dr Louis Mes after talking to several friends who have had it done here in town. According to my nurse friends the saying at the hospital is that "Mes is the best" lol. After meeting him and his staff I agree. He's spot on and very knowledgable. Older ~ been doing this for 39 years and blocks from my house. Easy to talk too and informative. He actually showed me the different implants including one of the gummies that he had cut open as an example. He highly suggested I go with the moderate or high profile gummy silicone since I'm small and athletic. He suggested 325-350cc, under the muscle and only does the under the boob incision. Props to him bc I didn't even say what I was thinking ~ I let him talk first. He confirmed my thought that he's the one I'm going with. I considered driving to Baton Rouge if it would be a little less, but it's not enough for me to drive. I'd only save about $500 and Mes gives a 3 percent discount if you pay in cash ~ whoop! Not much but I'll take it. $85 consult fee btw. $6200 for everything. I'll be saving thru the holidays and scheduling my surgery for Feb. when our calendar is a little slower and I have time to recover properly. Updated on 3 Nov 2014: Super excited ~ I feel good about my decision. I'm very comfortable with the dr I've chosen and his staff has been excellent. I've paid half of the amount so far and should have the rest paid with in the next 5 weeks. Busy Busy! I'm leaning towards late January as date and should know soon. Still waiting for the Drs wife to get their travel schedule together for the next year. Updated on 4 Nov 2014: Poor little boobies. They actually aren't a bad shape - they're just tiny. Barely filling out a 34A right now Updated on 11 Nov 2014: I just realized last night that I will have save all the $$ I need by the end of November!! Woohoo! Feels like forever all though it's only been a few short weeks :) I'm heading in today to pay off the last of the dr fees then all that keaves is the anesthesia and facility fees. We'll be looking at his schedule to see if he can fit me in before the end of the year! Eeeeeek! Lol! Updated on 13 Nov 2014: So these are the 300cc rice bags. Assuming that I would get 325cc and they lose 10 percent volume then I would assume this is what I'd end up with??? It's probably the biggest I'd want to be. I paid off the last of the drs fees today's and only need to pay off the $1700 on anesthesia and facility fees! Woohoo! While I was there I talked with them about moving the date to December!!!!! Ahhh!! She said the 15-19th is booked but if they get a cancellation it's all mine! Which she said does happen so you never know! If not my scheduled date is Decwmber 30th!! Less that 7 weeks! Updated on 13 Nov 2014: Thinking this is what I want.....??? Updated on 18 Nov 2014: Ahhhh!!!! I'm down to 28 days! ???? My amazing PS's office called to say they got a cancellation for Decwmber 15th!!!! So now.....what to do?? My pre-op is next week.....so many things to think of! Anyone suggestions girls?? Updated on 19 Nov 2014: So these are the 325 rice sizers I a bra (34C) and they feel kinda BIg!! Just from the side - but i'm assuming since I'm having high profile they won't project as much?? Meaning they'll be higher up? And less out? I know the sizers aren't an exact fit and you lose a little volume so if I got 325 and lost 10% I'd be ok........sigh...... Updated on 22 Nov 2014: It's been a crazy 2 months since I decided I wanted this. I've read more profiles and boob job stories, looked at so many different boobs - more boobie stuff then I've EVER thought of BUT I am SOOOO excited! I mean - I'm spending my Saturday night surfing this site thinkin g about what I need to do! Who would have guessed that in 8 weeks I would have hustled enough work to get this done?? Sigh. Paid in full with in the next week. It's a great accomplishment in and of itself to save that much in that short amount of time. So anyway - I took a few pics in a sports bra I rmwear around the house......I never wear it to the gym. I have a shaped, slightly padded one I wear - but in 23 days (plus recovery) I can wear whatever bra I want!!! Did I mention I was excited....??! Lol! Also - I've been thinking - leaning towards a 300-325 I think. My preop is this Tuesday and I've picked some more wish pics to bring :) Updated on 25 Nov 2014: Yay! Went in today and got all the info for the pre-op. He and I talked again about size, but I'm so at ease with him ~ I know that he's on the conservative side and I'm comfortable with letting him make the call on size. It'll be either a 350 mod plus or hi. What ever he decides fits in the pocket best. He knows that I run and dance so I don't want a lot of projection. He gave me an RX for Demarol and Phenegran. He also gave me Ambien but I probably won't need to fill that one. I got a gift from them ~ a bag full of goodies ~ scar cream, chocolates, cozy socks, chapstick and best of all a free micropeel to use whenever I would like! How fun!! I'll be going to the surgery center next week to pre admit there and that's about it! Soooooo ~ 19 more days!! Updated on 25 Nov 2014: Gift bag goodies from my dr!! Debating if I should save the chocolate or not.....???? My hubby also surprised me with a new tvfor our room so that I can have "something" to do besides go crazy for a few days - lol!! Updated on 1 Dec 2014: Suggestions girls? I need to pick up some today. He suggested the champions my am at the zip up front however when I went looking yesterday I couldn't find any...... assuming I can just buy any brand so what size do you suggest? I'm a 34A now and should be a C after. Wondering if I should buy a 36 D to have room for bandages and ice packs???? Updated on 1 Dec 2014: Went today to the surgery center. It's a pretty building that was built last year. My admit nurse was awesome and we chit chatted the whole time. She asked who my PS was and when I said Dr. mes she was so excited and positive. She was telling me that he's an expert in the South and hands down the best PS in La :) she just raced about him. I'm beyond happy with my choice in drs. Updated on 2 Dec 2014: My children have all been sick! Like really bad cold almost flu sick and I'm starting to feel achy! I will KILL them if I get sick (just a saying - not realllyyyy.....maybe ????) Any suggestions?? I'm hand washing and kicking back a to. If Emergen-C already ???????????????????????? Updated on 6 Dec 2014: I guess when it rains it pours? I've been so sick and so has everyone in my house. I'm on day 5 and on the road to recovery but just exhausted! I have a week to feel better.....I was told as long as I don't have a fever they'll still do the BA. Thank God! I'm not sure I can wait any longer!! I googled boobies the whole time I stayed in bed - lol! On top of being sick my grandfather passed away - so tons of family to deal with this week....:.at least they'll keep my mind off it right?? Updated on 12 Dec 2014: Well Monday is the day! I'm so glad I paid ahead of time bc I might have talked myself out of it yesterday!!! I was naseous just thinking about what people will say ???? crazy I know but still. Other than that I'm picking up some arnica tablets tomorrow. Filled my RX and have been rubbing my breasts with oil to help the skin relaxing. I've taken it very easy in the gym this week. Letting my upper body muscles relax and not working them at all. Being out of the gym is hard, but after talking to several friends who exercise they all said they wish they would have not worked their arms and chest the week before. So being cautious about it and just taking time off. Saturday I'll be grocery shopping to fill my house with food. Several of my amazing friends are going to make meals for me and Sunday I'm cleaning my house! Too to bottom! So am I forgeting anything?? Any must dos before my big day??? Eeekkkk! It's almost here! Updated on 13 Dec 2014: Yesterday and today have been interesting.....put on my sports bra yesterday and thought - wow - last time for you. Put on my padded VS bra today and thought the same thing. So slightly reflective but getting excited. Tomorrow I'll be throwing out a drawer full of bras in exchange for new boobies! Whoop! Updated on 15 Dec 2014: Done and I feel awesome. Recovering easily from the anestiology thank goodness. I did get a patch to helps i's a little tight but that's really it. Here's me chilling. I'll post more later :) Updated on 15 Dec 2014: First pic! I'm in love. Updated on 16 Dec 2014: Today I feel good. No bruising and just a lingering pain at the bottom near the steri strips. I've been eating food and haven't had any naseous feelings :) working myway out of the anestisia and I'm feeling good. Reminding myself to rest.....but I doubt I can stay in this bed to long - lol Updated on 16 Dec 2014: Updated on 17 Dec 2014: All righty - I feel a little regret but not much. Concerned they night babe a tad bit on the big side ???? but I'm determined to give them time do drop and fluff. Only worry - the extra skin in the bottom of the left one.....please tell me it'll fix itself too! Updated on 18 Dec 2014: I'm feeling great! I've been off all pain killers since yesterday am. I drive myself to get my hair washed and blow dried as a treat and today I'll drive to my post op appt. today he'll put me in my regular sports bra! Yay! Pain wise it hasn't been bad at all. I think getting off the pain meds fast was a good idea. They've been a little itchy but I know its bc they're healing. So new pic for you all today - they look pretty much the same. I'll post again after my appt Updated on 18 Dec 2014: Went great! He swapped me into a regular sports bra and told me I had no restrictions - just listen to my body. I'm still taking advil around the clock as needed but will probably head to the gym tomorrow to walk a bit. I'm going back on Tuesday to get the stiches removed :) Updated on 19 Dec 2014: Day 5 - whoop! The new bra was too tight so I swapped it for this new purple one that I picked up from WalMart for $10. It's actually way more comfy. I think the straps on that white UA one are to short for me. This one feels great. I slept decently although not awesome last night. Got up this mornin feeing pretty good. Got dressed and headed to the gym! I took it really easy and just walked for 30 minutes. Little bit of tenderness in the upper on both sides both not bad. I came home and iced them for 20 minutes and now I feel great. If felt good to be back in a semi-routine :) Updated on 19 Dec 2014: Longest day yet! I hit the road running after the gym with visits to friends, chauffeuring teenagers and finally ending up at the mall for hours to complete my shopping. I took advil with me and did pretty good. There were moments though my boobies were like "we're tired! Find us some ice!" Lol! Decided that I'm going to ask on Tuesday when I go to get my stiches out of I can swap to a regular sports bra at least for sleeping at night. I tried one in today and it's so much more comfortable. Just for fun I'm posting before and afters in the same bra side-by-side :) Updated on 22 Dec 2014: One week today for my new girls :) they feel good although I need to go back and really look at the pics to see how much they've changed. I've been walking 2 miles everyday and while it's taking forever it feels good. I'm taking advil in the morning and before bed. Other than that I feel completely normal. Little tightness here and there but not bad! Tomorrow I get the steri strips off and the stiches out! Whoop! Updated on 23 Dec 2014: Today I went in and he removed the steri strips and stitches. I got a good look at my scars. Not too bad. I have a gel that I'll be putting on them morning and evening. I'm feeling better and better every day. I'm walking 2 miles or so every morning although I do get a few muscle spasms from the walking. The nurse assured me nothing was wrong and keep going :) Dr. Mes told me today my implants weigh about 1-1/2 lbs. I weighed myself today at the gym and it was 122. So bearing in mind the weight of the implants I seem to have finally lost all the fluid from surgery. Yay! He said I looked great and I could do anything I was comfortable with - no restrictions. I think I'm going to hold off on sleeping on my tummy, running and upoer Jody weights until week 4 just as a precaution. I feel like this surgery was so easy. I'm so grateful I picked a wonderful doctor. I'm sure he made a huge difference. Updated on 27 Dec 2014: 12 days gone! I feel good still. They're dropping some and filling out nicely. They're a little hard to dress though! Some of my clothing just doesn't look as cute. So tomorrow I'll be on the hunt for a few cute pieces and that'll make me happy! I'm posting side by side lrogression pics and new pics of my scars. I had breakfast today with a friend who's a surgical nurse. She had her boobs done 3 years ago. She checked out my scars and was soooooo impressed. They look fabulous! I'm applying a cream to them 2-3xs a day and massaging them. i think they'll heal almost nonexistent - woohoo! Great job, Dr Mes! Updated on 27 Dec 2014: Sorry! They didn't load! Updated on 27 Dec 2014: Again.....progression pics Updated on 30 Dec 2014: Still feeling great. I've been off the RX meds for a week and I'm sleeping decently. I still find they're a little sore in the morning. I'm still walking and cycling daily with a little lower body weight thrown in. I will say - something I didn't think about. The surgery and probably the anesteshia has thrown my cycle all off. I usually start like clock work and go 4 days. I spotted for 3 days and "started" 4 days late.hoping this will fix itself as all the meds roll out of my system for good. Since I'm visual I took a bunch of pics for y'all. :) I like the way my boobs aren't too big in clothes unless I want them to be. I'm adjusting to them well. Oh! And I found this great bra at Walmart! $10 and its high impact. It's been perfect for the gym. :) Updated on 11 Jan 2015: Hey yall! It's been almost a month! Eek! I'm loving my new additions and they're adjusting well. I have had sever nipple sensitivity but since I think that means i' be getting feeling back in both nipes I'm not complaining! I started running last week. Couple miles a day and it's feeling good. My stitch though on one side is driving me crazy! Calling my PS tomorrow. I think a price of it may be trying to poke out. It's painful to touch Actually hurts a bit. Afraid that it could be infected so I put a warm compress and triple antibiotic ointment on it just to be safe. Also - side note - I think my right side has dropped some but the left is still high! I'm like hurry up already! Lol!! So impatient :) Updated on 15 Jan 2015: Today marks one month that I got my girls! :) I am very happy with them. Somedays I think they might be a little big other days I love them. I think it's all a process. In the end I'm happy. This has been such a good and positive experience for me. Great dr, good recovery from the anesteshia and from the surgery. I'm still weak in my arms and doing very light weights but I'm back to almost everything else's. Lifting daily, running - enjoying life :) I'll be so thrilled in a few months when they finish dropping!!
